&lt;div class=&#34;meta &#34;&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;caption-text &#34;&gt;In this photo released by Tourism Queensland, people gather on a beach at Palm Cove in Queensland state, Australia, to watch and photograph a total solar eclipse Wednesday, Nov. 14, 2012. Starting just after dawn, the eclipse cast its 150-kilometer &#38;#40;95-mile&#38;#41; shadow in Australia&#38;#39;s Northern Territory, crossed the northeast tip of the country and was swooping east across the South Pacific, where no islands are in its direct path. &#38;#40;AP Photo&#38;#47;Tourism Queensland, Murray Anderson-Clemence&#38;#41; EDITORIAL USE ONLY &#40;AP Photo&#38;#47; Murray Anderson-Clemence&#41;&lt;&#47;span&gt;&lt;&#47;div&gt;
